[QUOTE="pins_basic"][QUOTE="Socrates88"][QUOTE="shsonline"]Out of all the fanbases, Halo fans get the most flak, IMO. I don't know why this is, but I don't see anybody else being criticized for just LIKING a game, as much as Halo fans.

If they aren't "noobs" then they are criticized for liking "overrated garbage" etc. etc.

True?

I do agree they are the most criticized. You have to look at who is critizing them. Not saying this as fact, but I can bet my money on that majority of the Halo fans are new to console gaming (between 5-6 years). I think the vets of gaming critizing them for not seeing that Halo is a great game, but diffentely not amongst the greatest.

That's just a ignorant thing to say. Halo is one fo the highest scoring FPS on GS and it's in the top ten at GR, it is critically acclaimed series and sells millions upon millions. What would make a game among the greatest in there genre? It can't be reviews cause Halo has that, it can't be sales cause Halo has that too and it can't be fanbase cause Halo also has that. People just hate it cause it's popular just like they hate on GTA. These are critically acclaimed games and they treat them as if they were garbage, that same person would turn around and flame the hell out of someone for not like the games that he likes. It's like a band who's fans turn on them if they become popualr, it's thing to do now adays.

The people who think Halo is the best FPS played other FPS before it? Calling me ignorant must mean you know the truth to that answer? care to share it with me?

I'm sure plenty of them have and the guys here at GS have played other FPS and the same goes for the guys at IGN, GameSpy, GamePro, EGM ect.... and they all seem to think highly of the game. If you don't think it's the greatest then fine but to act as your opinion is fact is just ignorant.

Your still paying M$ to get the privilege to purchase junk like that.

So you don't have any clue what you are talking about. Why do you even open your mouth if you don't know what you're talking about?

People need to face the facts that Microsoft is RIPPING YOU OFF. Your not only paying a fee to use XBox Live but then you have to pay more for stupid downloads like horse armor and bikini tops. Be smart and spend your money on something useful like a full game on Nintendo's VC.

This is so stupid. Do you need the armor? No! I guess the option is a bad thing specially since it's not even MS who is selling the armor. I wish MS sold old games too, instead of armor you could by vc games on the Wii, why can't I buy TMNT, SF or even MK on my 360?

XBLA is better. When Nintendo saw Arcade and decided to do something similar, they should have done the updating for online too. Kicking your friends ass who moved to the other side of the country on MK like you use too back in the day>the same game that I already own. I guess it's good for newbs who haven't played the games back in the day and don't already own the game but for me Arcade is way beter.

So it's looking like Blue Dragon and BioShock in August, PGR4 in September, GTA4 in October, Halo 3 in November and Lost Odyssey in December. That bad.

Everyone expects a November release date for H3, PGR4 will might be in September though.
